Journal Entry Template

2. Enter a Template Title (e.g., "Monthly Depreciation", "Prepaid Rent Amortization").
3. Select the Company.
4. Select the Entry Type (Journal Entry, Contra Entry, etc.).
5. Check Is Opening if this template is for opening balances.
6. Add rows with:

- Account: The account to debit or credit

- Party Type and Party (optional): Customer or Supplier

- Cost Center (optional)

1. Click Save.
